I look a mess… I’m borderline homeless… my skin is dry and damaged, my teeth is falling apart… I have gained over 65 pounds… I looked at my self in the mirror yesterday and just burst out in tears. Depression has eaten away what I feel was my best years… I’m 30, will be 31 next month and starting this week… I’m taking action to pull myself up. This sub is so motivating, I’m addicted to the seeing your guy’s progress pics and seeing how you all done changed things in the matter of months.
I’m ready to start living again and get a life for myself… I took a before pic. But I won’t post until I have a progress pic to go with it.
​
So thankful for this sub.
Well, I can attest, at 35, I have never looked nor felt better, so you certainly have not let the best years of your life pass you by.
However, right now is the perfect time 5o change your life. You can do this. I spent my 20’s overweight, and now in my 30’s I really appreciate being at a proper weight, you will too!
You got this! Write down your goals…… pull it out when needing motivation. You can improve anything you want about your life…. you have control, over everything.
Congrats on the beginning of your journey on taking back control!
It will!
I came here at my lowest:Mid 30s, couch surfing after a relationship break down, depressed, 60lb to lose to be a healthy BMI.
It’s not all ups, I had a good summer and then a bad winter … but I’m still 28lbs lighter than the first day I joined this group. And I’ve learnt to have faith in myself - getting back on the saddle this week and confident I’ll make progress.
Remember to keep getting back up after the downs, that’s what leads to those progress pics! No one has had a smooth downward slope - you’ll see bumps! But the important thing is you keep going.
Best of luck and welcome to a bright new chapter!
You are actually about to start the peak of your life. You took the first step to identify what’s need to be changed. It’s going to be hard and frustrating but It will be worth it, keep your head up champ.
